I need someone to tell me how to install a double din in my 2005 Dakota.

I don't care what it takes. I want it to be clean and flush.


This person did a custom job... I wonder who I can go to for a job like that.

 

Looks to me like they got a dash kit like ericemery has then cut the 'ears' off and glued them in place after cutting out to fit the HU. I cut mine to put the MyGIG in, all you will need is a dremel and a steady hand (if you have a scroll-saw it will be even easier). Mark out your line well and remember measure twice cut once!

 

Is it possible to get a bezzel without the ears? Or instead of black plastic covers something that matches the grey dash?

 

I think the first idea you said sounds easiest.

Are you saying I just need to buy a dash kit and a local shop can work the rest of the details out?

Is this the right one?

I'll do it like this guy did .

 

I'm still trying to figure out where I can buy a bezel that does not have the volume **** cut outs.. Dodge didn't do a good job giving me info on a bezel and I can't find anything online....

Can someone tell me where to go?

 

The one difference there is the MyGig is wider than your standard double DIN and requires enough cutting that the ears become a non-issue. That said doing the cutting is not all that hard, I was one of the pre-orders for that lockpick adapter he refers to

I've changed my mind.. All I want to do is now order a factory gray bezel without the volume **** cuts and give it to my mechanic so he can install the radio..

Where do I get a bezel? Dodge was horrible at giving me info on one.. Couldn't even give me a picture or tell me what color I was ordering... He said there were 3 different kinds... Only price was listed... 140, 170, and 300. There was absolutely no additional info he could give me on it...
